	<h2>Minetest</h2>
	<p>
		I was thinking my <code>trace_minerals</code> mod was a good idea, but I think now I just wasted my time making it.
		It&apos;s sort of hacky.
		I spent yesterday while I was performing mindless labour at work thinking about how to improve my <code>blockprotectnodes</code> mode before releasing it.
		I was really excited about what I came up with, but it was way too gimmicky.
		I&apos;ve disbanded the changes, save for the new recipe (as the previous one was always meant to be a placeholder until I could find a better one) and the new design (because I drew it, forgetting that I&apos;d *already* come up with a design I liked; but the new design was better).
		That mod had now been released as well.
	</p>
	<p>
		I&apos;ve been hit with new inspiration, though acting on it will have to wait a bit.
		I&apos;d like to add funky crops that provide renewability instead of the hacky digging mod.
		Specifically, this idea comes from the <a href="https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=19520">MesePetal flowers</a> I saw on the forum today.
		I&apos;d like to expand on that concept though, and provide plants for most currently-nonrenewable materials.
		Some will be flowers and will spread as such.
		Some will be trees, and require replanting.
		The leaves will sometimes drop the material, sometimes instead drop saplings.
		They&apos;ll likely usually drop themselves instead of either.
		Some will be farm plants probably, though I&apos;ll first need to look into how to prevent immature stages of the plants from ever dropping materials.
		<del>All materials dropped will be fragments of what you can use instead of whole materials.
		For most, crafting nine of a fragment together will produce a whole material</del>, though in the case of lava and water, it&apos;ll likely need to be eight of the material plus a bucket.
		Actually, scratch that part about material fragments.
		Come to think of it, dropping items already available in Minetest Game, when possible, will both make the mod fit with the game better and provide better integration into <code>minestats</code>.
	</p>
	<p>
		I think Minetest is proving to be bad for my coursework, but very good for my state of mind.
		Seeing as it&apos;s the school that&apos;s needlessly putting me in a sour mood to start with, which do you think I care more about?

		The discussion in the maths course makes me thing I&apos;m in a room full of idiots.
		However, there is one person that seems to grasp a basic component of the problem that I think we all should&apos;ve seen without even trying.
		How sad though; I&apos;m one of only two.
		Yet another student has brought an interesting point to the table though, so I guess I&apos;ll respond to that tomorrow.

			I enjoyed reading your take on the problem.
			You make a great point about day-to-day, and even minute-to-minute stock price fluctuations.
			There&apos;s simply no equation that can represent data in this sort of situation without necessarily simplifying the data by approximating.
			What really grabbed my attention and made me want to read your post though was your graph.
			I&apos;m glad to see I wasn&apos;t the only one who saw that January 31 and February 01 aren&apos;t the same day and cannot be the connecting point for the sloped line segments.
			Indexing from zero and touching upon cryptocurrencies were nice touches as well.
